Ålänningens sång
"Ålänningens sång" (Finnish: "Ahvenanmaalaisten laulu"; English: "Song of the Ålander") is the official anthem of the Åland Islands, an autonomous Swedish-speaking province of Finland. Adopted in 1922, the anthem's words are by John Grandell and the music was composed by Johan Fridolf Hagfors. The song was first performed during the song festival in Mariehamn 1922. In Åland the song is mostly sung on Midsummer's Eve and on the National day of Åland in June 9th. The song originally had four verses, but the third verse is omitted for a long time when the song is sung and often when it appears in print.

gollark: Also, anyone want an experimental PotatOS Hypercycle™ build?
gollark: You can just hit enter twice, it only checks if they *match*.
gollark: Oh, you need to set a password to continue.
gollark: Technically I could make potatOS preempt the thing force-rebooting it so that the user takes their fingers off the keys, but it doesn't do that.
gollark: However, the actual `reboot` command in the sandbox does *not* reboot it fully.
